Chapter 30: Yanlong is trapped

When Yanlong Ye Shuaibing appeared at Dawn Pass, it was already the eve of the day.

The gates were closed at the gates, and the torches on the towers were connected. The soldiers defending the city are already in combat readiness.

The cavalry of the Suzaku Battalion waited three hundred paces from the city gate, forming an attacking formation eager to try.

This distance was just outside the range of the longbows of the defenders, and as long as the Suzaku battalion did not advance further, the best longbowmen on the castle tower could not do anything about them.

Wartime preparations for Dawn Pass were the responsibility of garrison Baturu. Baturu is a veteran of many battles. He was cautious and good at fighting defensive battles.

In Baturu's opinion, the 500 cavalry of the Suzaku Division in front of him was as ridiculous as a rat coming to the door of a cat's house to demonstrate.

Baturu sat on the watchtower, drinking a pot of turbid wine until he was slightly drunk, and a plate of bear's paws on the coffee table was gnawed by him and only the skeleton remained.

He saw Yan Longye dressed in white and single-handedly come to the Dawn Pass to call for battle.

Baturu waved his hand and ordered the gates to be opened.

Yan Longye saw a group of corporals pulling large hunting nets roaring and rushing out of the city.

He had thought that Dawn Pass would send a soldier to fight him. Even if he loses, he can fight the enemy for a few rounds, and then he moves out of the signboard of the prince of Zhangxiong to negotiate with the third prince of Dawn Pass, Lei Zhe.

Ultimately, he hopes to negotiate a solution. After all, the Zhangxiong tribe is also one of the four major tribes in the Mangyuan Alliance.

He speculated that even the third prince would not dare to do anything to him easily. He never imagined that he had only spoken two words before he could report his name when he came to the city and was captured by a group of inferior slave soldiers pulling a large net.

The cavalry of the Suzaku Battalion wanted to go to the rescue, but when they arrived at the city, Yanlongye had already been captured in the Dawn Pass, and the city gate was closed.

The cavalry of the Suzaku battalion also had no siege equipment, so they could only gather outside the pass and shout for them to be released.

The general at the gate shouted to the cavalry of the Suzaku battalion: "You have already angered General Baturu by breaking through the pass late at night. Baturu remembers that you Zhangxiong and Xijon are allies, so they will not do anything to your people. You can retreat and come back after dawn. ”

After Yan Longye was captured, the Suzaku Camp was leaderless, and several centurions went their separate ways, and they couldn't discuss a unified result, so they had to retreat to camp three hundred steps away.

It was only at dawn that the cavalry of the Suzaku Battalion discovered that there was a man hanging from the tower of the Dawn Gate. Take a closer look at the person who was being hung and officially Yan Long Ye.

The cavalry of the Suzaku battalion was filled with righteous indignation, and without waiting for the centurion's order, several reckless men mounted their horses and charged at Dawn Pass.

The trumpet sounded at dawn, and the standard-bearer commanded a group of fifty archers to shoot in succession.

Several reckless soldiers of the Suzaku Battalion were wounded by the indiscriminate arrows, and they quickly turned their horses and ran back.

Several more heavily armed cavalry then attempted to charge Dawn Pass. The hoplites were protected by armor all over their bodies, as were their horses. They are like moving towers, and ordinary bows and arrows can't help them at all.

Dawn closed the drums and signaled: "The fourth group of the crossbowman C team will change the armor-piercing arrows, and each person will shoot ten arrows in a row." ”

The landing point of the fourth group leader of the third team of archers on the combo was just over the charging line of the Suzaku Battalion's Tiefutu.

The centurions of the Zhangxiong tribe looked at the arrows shot at the dawn pass, and the arrows were a bright triangular shape. They hurried to withdraw their troops, but it was too late, and these Iron Floaters fell to the ground and wailed one after another.

Instead of continuing to shoot the wounded Tiefutu, Dawn Pass shot a message arrow. The centurion unfolded the letter and looked at it, and it turned out that Baturu had warned them not to act rashly.

The messenger at dawn shouted into the microphone: "General Baturu has ordered, give you a stick of incense, and you may bring back the wounded soldiers." After this time of incense, anyone who crosses the red line without permission will be mercilessly shot as an aggressor. ”

At this time, the prince of Huayan finished his breakfast and came to the city gate tower leisurely. As soon as he appeared, General Baturu pretended to be confused and evaded. Because the old Baturu couldn't get used to the style of painting, he always deliberately avoided him.

The prince was now in front of the battlements, watching as the men of the Zhangxiong tribe carried the wounded Tiefutu back to the camp in a panic. Three wounded horses were left on the ground, unable to move for a while.

Painting Yan asked the city gate guards with a smile: "Are all those troublemakers dead?" ”

The city gate guarded: "General Baturu commanded, don't kill them all. Therefore, the arrows of the soldiers were deliberately missed to try not to hurt their lives. ”

He said: "The old general is really merciful! But haven't you heard that to be merciful to your enemies is to be cruel to yourself? So don't be too merciful! Draw a red line for them, dare to cross the thunder and kill them in half a step! ”

A row of mechanical crossbow arms slowly opens, each bowstring is tuned to the same pull in advance, and each arrow tied with a red ribbon is made to a uniform standard.

With a wave of the flag, fifty arrows were connected into a red line, and with a frightening whistling sound, they rose and fell at the dawn pass two hundred paces, and the arrows were neatly arranged into a red line.

The centurion knew that the ultimatum had been given at Dawn Pass, and he wanted to send someone over to negotiate.

An envoy from the Suzaku Battalion was holding a white flag, and as soon as he crossed the line of red arrows with his front feet, he saw a cloud-piercing arrow complete a graceful parabola from the rising sun and hit him in the chest.

The messenger's heart and lungs were pierced by arrows, and he fell to the ground spitting blood, struggling and shouting: "The two armies will not kill each other!" ”

Hua Yan stood on the city gate tower, holding a horn bow and said to the guard of Liming Pass: "How do you see my arrow?" ”

Of course, the garrison did not dare to offend the seventeenth prince, and he replied respectfully: "Your Highness is superb in archery, but he just shot the messenger, how can we do what they want?" ”

Isn't there a messenger in front of us? Pull him up and let him sit next to me. ”

The guards put the dragon leaf hanging on the city wall

He pulled up the city gate tower and brought it to the prince of Huayan.

Yan Longye was hung all night, and the bones under the mountain were about to fall apart, and after the rope on his body was untied, he was unstable on his feet, and was supported by a guard beside him to sit steadily at the table.

Hua Yan clapped his hands and summoned two maidservants to sit on Yan Longye's left and right to accompany him, and asked the back kitchen to prepare a table of wine and food for Yan Longye to enjoy.

Yan Longye was very calm, he hadn't eaten all night and was grunting with hunger. Seeing the sumptuous wine and food being served, he ate meat in large chunks regardless of his manners and drank in large gulps.

After he was full of wine and food, he wiped his mouth and asked Huayan, "Can I leave when I'm full?" ”

A few green tendons stretched on Hua Yan's head, and he still said to Yan Longye: "What are you panicking about? The final election of Shao Si Ming has been postponed to the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival next year. Why don't you stay and have fun with me, and it's not too late to leave next year. ”

Yan Long Ye pretended to smile and said, "Then let my uncle return to the camp first?" ”

"Where is your uncle?" I haven't seen your uncle! ”

Yan Longye saw that he wanted to play tricks, and he said angrily: "My uncle is Liu Hanye, the leader of the Vermilion Bird Camp and the Xuanwu Camp. He came to Dawn Pass yesterday to see the third prince, and then he didn't go back at all. Our people saw him send a distress signal from the city! ”

Huayan pretended to suddenly realize: "So that's the case!" However, my third brother left Dawn Pass yesterday morning, and the soldiers defending the city can testify, so I don't believe you can ask them. So you said that your uncle went to see my third brother, then I will ask you when my third brother comes back. Are we friends after all, aren't we? ”

Yan Longye said: "When will His Royal Highness the Third Prince come back!" ”

Huayan said: "My third brother has gone to Drifting Snow City, and he will be back soon, probably until next spring!" ”

Yan Longye was angry: "What happened to my uncle?" Have you ever met him? ”

"I swear!" We can sit down and talk about solving this problem. If we are friends, we should be honest with each other, you help me, I help you, right? ”

Yan Longye said: "What do you want me to do, so that you can guarantee Uncle Liu Han's safety?" ”

Huayan said: "Otherwise, let's do it!" You see you didn't have enough food for the winter stockpiles......"

Yan Longye said: "Then His Highness is ready to send us another batch of high-quality winter storage grain with kindness!" If this is the case, I promise that the Zhangxiong Department will not pursue the matter of the previous winter grain storage being pitted, and please let my Uncle Liu Han return to the camp to stabilize the morale of the army. ”

Huayan looked at Yan Longye like a fool and said, "Hehehehe! Brother, you are so innocent, how can I let you go so easily? You say, don't you? What's in it for me to do that? ”

Yan Longye's face was red when he was asked: "What do you want me to do to be satisfied?" ”

Huayan said: "First of all, you take your 1,000 soldiers out of the snowy region and return to the Zhangxiong Division. I promise to give you back a complete Uncle Liu Han, whose hands and feet are very complete, and not a single toe will be missing. Then I want Lord Hanxi not to participate in the final selection of the reincarnated spirit child, because then she will definitely die. If she is willing to give up the final election, I can intercede with my father Khan and let her be my concubine. She doesn't have to be sacrificed to the sky, she can still live a good life and reproduce for my noble royal bloodline. When the time comes, we will be relatives, and I will protect everyone in your Zhangxiong Division. ”

Before Yan Yan's words were finished, Yan Longye vomited a lot on the table.

He ate too much just now, and now he listened to a lot of paintings, and he felt that the anger in his body had nowhere to put it, and he vomited all the things he had eaten in the morning on the table.

Huayan seemed to be concerned: "What's wrong with you?" ”

Yan Longye said: "I'm disgusted by you!" Hahaha, you bastard prince, I really thought that Lao Tzu was afraid that you wouldn't make it. ”

"What are the consequences of rejecting a prince's kindness, have you considered it?" ”

Yan Longye said: "The son of the White Horse King does not grovel to the people who seek perfection. If you want to kill, you will be killed, I'm afraid you won't succeed. If you kill me today, there will be at least a million people buried for me in this snowy region tomorrow. I guess people like you don't care about that, do they? I just don't know if you, Ramosa Khan, will always condone you to do such nonsense! ”

"You are a bastard, an uncivilized savage of the barbarians. Your neighbors are cannibals, and you are all inferior races that can't spit out ivory. ”

Yan Longye said, "I heard that there are seven thousand giant deer slaves in your team. Aren't they all a branch of the Savages? ”

Huayan said: "I want you to take care of it!" I'm going to hang you up until you beg me!" ”

Yan Longye was tied up by the guards and hung again on the city gate.

Hua Yan said to the guards: "Let me hang him headfirst down, go and get a bucket of water, and soak him all over his body." I don't believe he can't freeze to death at night. ”
